Abstract

Hypertension is a significant global health problem with an increasing prevalence. It is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide due to its impact on vital organs and its association with chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Despite the availability of various current management strategies, many patients still fail to achieve adequate blood pressure (BP) control. Cardiovascular mortality related to hypertension continues to rise along with the global increase in chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Therefore, improving BP control must be prioritized urgently. Most individuals are unaware that they suffer from hypertension even when they experience its symptoms. The lack of public awareness in monitoring blood pressure and the limited knowledge about hypertension and its management often result in recurrent increases in blood pressure and, in many cases, severe complications. In Ranging Hamlet, most elderly residents suffer from hypertension, and some even experience multiple complications. Blood pressure screening and hypertension education can help in monitoring and controlling blood pressure, providing understanding on how to prevent or manage hypertension, and raising awareness about adopting a healthy lifestyle to avoid hypertension. This activity began with the preparation and implementation stages. After the community service (PKM) for the elderly conducted on October 18, 2024, the results showed that the elderly participants became aware of their blood pressure levels and gained improved knowledge and understanding of hypertension and its management.

Abstract

Background: Cataract is one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness, particularly among the elderly population, with a higher incidence observed in women. Limited public knowledge regarding cataract risk factors, symptoms, and management often results in delays in eye examinations and treatment. Objective: This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and understanding of members of the PKK “Sekar” group in Garung Village regarding cataracts, including their definition, risk factors, symptoms, prevention, and management. Methods: The activity employed a health education approach through interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions, supported by educational media such as PowerPoint presentations, leaflets, and posters. Knowledge evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The activity was conducted on November 18, 2025, involving 20 participants. Results: The evaluation results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, as indicated by an increase in the mean knowledge score from 81 in the pre-test to 98 in the post-test. Conclusion: Health education delivered through a PKK group-based approach was proven to be effective in enhancing community knowledge, particularly among elderly women, regarding cataracts. This activity serves as a promotive and preventive effort to reduce the risk of visual impairment and blindness caused by cataracts.

Abstract

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide and remains a major public health problem, particularly among the elderly population. Its slow and often asymptomatic progression in the early stages results in late diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of preventive and early detection strategies. This community service activity aimed to improve knowledge and understanding of glaucoma among members of the Sema’an Al-Qur’an group in Sindupaten Village, Kertek District, Wonosobo, through a community-based health promotion approach. The intervention consisted of interactive health education sessions, discussions, question-and-answer activities, and the use of educational media, including PowerPoint presentations, leaflets, and posters. Knowledge levels were assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered to 10 participants, most of whom were elderly. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the mean knowledge score from 78 in the pre-test to 98 in the post-test, with the minimum score improving from 40 to 80. Furthermore, 90% of participants achieved a very good level of knowledge after the intervention. These findings indicate that community-based health education is effective in enhancing glaucoma-related health literacy. This program supports the implementation of eye health policies by strengthening promotive and preventive efforts at the primary healthcare level, thereby contributing to early detection and reducing the risk of permanent blindness due to glaucoma.
